Has anyone ever had a near death experience that actually showed them hell?

In EVERY single near death experience I have ever read, EVERY single person says "I was on my to heaven, followed the tunnel, then I felt warmth, love & light. Then I was back on earth." Or "I saw the operating room, people working on me." But not once do they say, "I saw the books placed upside down that all operating rooms have to prove the existence of my survival in the next world."

NOT ONCE have I ever heard a story of a near death experience where the person said, "well it got pretty warm & toasty, hateful and vengeful. Satan's minions came to me, then the next thing I was awake again."

Therefore, all stories of near death are stories of the human mind closing down, with the last part of the central mind (which we already know provides the idea of love & inclusion) being the last to close. Perfect naturalism. Not a reason to believe in idiotic idols. Science over religion. Fact over fiction.

Why has no one ever had a near death experience that brought them to the brink of hell, and why would satan let them get close but then get away???

Update:

Ave, I'd LOVE to say that counted, I'd also LOVE to have seen your dream!!! That should be a film in 3d never mind a nightmare!!! However, it doesn't answer the question. Seek advice...!

Update 2:

One last note: how telling is it on the R&S site that the only religious person that has answered this question has already had their answer shot down, and no others have even bothered to answer?!

I think we'll call that, "hitting a nerve"!

Update 3:

JOHN - I have to admit that I am an atheist, but you're answer and first link is very good. I have nothing but respect for you because of it. It isn't enough to convert me, or enough to give you best answer, but thank you for providing it!

    I don't believe there is a devil I believe we have choices every day weather to do good or bad ie be nasty to someone or not - its not the devil its ourselves

    plenty of people have been to bad places I went to see that Australian guy at a church in South Kensington years ago and heard his story about being bitten by a box jelly fish, how he went to hell and he said the Lords Prayer and he got out and now tells everyone about it

    you are obviously doing some research and you are very sceptical which is OK but you should have an open heart your own salvation is at stake here

    There have been some hellish ones. But you're right, the overwhelming majority in Christian dominated areas have been heavenly, and many former irreligious people "get" religion afterward. But the really interesting thing is that NDEs in non-Western nations, people experience whatever afterlife their own belief systems (even if they professed not to consciously believe in them) were what they experienced. So it seems, even if we don't believe consciously, whatever we were taught to expect as kids will be what we experience as our brains come close to shutting down.

    Actually there have been hellish ones, but not all necessarily fire and brimstone.

    Here's a pretty good site about NDEs:

    No. Mine was neutral, BTW. No heaven or hell.
